Dear All, we inform you that the deadline for paper submission to the DRS2022=20 BILBAO Conference has been extended to December 1^st . Deadline for paper submission: November 24^th , 2021> December, 1^st , 20= 21. The call for papers can be found via the following link:=20 https://www.drs2022.org/theme-tracks/=20 <https://www.drs2022.org/theme-tracks/> Best regards, Stefano Delle Monache -------------------------- The Theme Track 4 onSound & Design aims at exploring human and machine=20 listening as design material: Either intentionally designed or as by-products of mechanisms and=20 processes, sounds and soundscapes are an essential presence in our=20 contemporary environments, from notification and alarms to machinery and=20 voice-based virtual assistants. Sound design entails a variety of=20 practices, dealing at large with the design and craft of auditory=20 displays to convey functions and information with aesthetic=20 requirements. Listening is the context-dependent, human-centered, active=20 behaviour by which we use sound to make sense of the experience with=20 products, services, and ecosystems. A socio-technological, sound-driven approach to design is concerned=20 about the meaning and understanding of the experience driven by=20 listening, rather than by sound. In this paradigm shift, sound acts both=20 as issue and opportunity for innovative design solutions. Hence,=20 sound-driven design is inherently embodied, situated, and=20 human-centered. Establishing the role of listening in the design process=20 will inform whether designers design the sound, for sound, against sound=20 or with sound. The Sound and Design track welcomes papers on: A. Sound-driven design: Designing for, through, and about listening Contact person - Stefano Delle Monache | s.dellemonache@xxxxxxxx=20 <mailto:s.dellemonache@xxxxxxxx> Leveraging the established distinction about design research strategies=20 (for, through, about design), we invite submissions on: * Designing for listening (clinical), including sound- and evidence-based case studies and interventions with specific impact, e.g., from product sounds to soundscapes, in healthcare, automotive, and the lived environment in general; * Designing through listening (applied), including design studies that investigate how sound and action intertwine to shape dynamic relationships between humans and objects, e.g. from sound-driven experience and design methodologies, to the effect of sound on listeners, such as emotions and alarm fatigue; * Designing about listening (basic), including inquiries on the fundamentals of design and audition, formgiving and cognition, research methods, the role of sound-based representations and creativity. B. Design of artificial intelligence (AI) for perceiving and=20 interpreting sound Contact person -=C2=A0 Monica Porteanu | monicap2@xxxxxxxx=20 <mailto:monicap2@xxxxxxxx> Sound opens doors to designing for inclusiveness, wellbeing, and many=20 more. Meanwhile, sound-enabled technology creates commercial=20 opportunities at exponential speed. However, the commercial enthusiasm=20 outpaces our understanding of the implications this situation creates,=20 e.g., considering that voice is a biometric identifier. We have yet to become aware of how sound travels and is perceived and=20 interpreted across devices, platforms, clouds, and algorithms. The=20 design mindset and practice are slowly catching up, but they are still=20 more focused on the commercial aspect (e.g., conversation design, voice=20 user interface). However, design research could significantly contribute=20 to raising awareness and developing the necessary body of knowledge to=20 address the gap. We invite submissions on topics such as: * Algorithmic hearing and interpretation, incl. voice-based AI for sentiment analysis * Inclusive AI applications related to sound perception, interpretation, and feedback, e.g., sound therapy, rehabilitation, food design for wellness * Design methods for sensemaking related to sound data, e.g., sonification, visualization * Sound-based AI literacy, e.g., privacy, decision-making * Objects that listen, interpret, or provide feedback (esp. to other than the sound producer) --------------dBpsDg4mKH5hNrvLDz0ACcp1 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-MIME-Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable by edgeum4.it.mcgill.ca id 1AIGKJjL032098 <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"content-type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3DUTF= -8"> </head> <body> <p dir=3D"ltr">Apologies for cross-posting.</p> <p dir=3D"ltr">Dear All,=C2=A0</p> we inform you that the deadline for paper submission to the DRS2022 BILBAO Conference has been extended to December 1<sup>st</sup>.<br> Deadline for paper submission: <strike>November 24<sup>th</sup>, 2021</strike><span style=3D"font-weight: 700;"> > December, 1<su= p>st</sup>, 2021.</span><strike><span style=3D"font-weight: 700;"> <br> </span></strike> <p dir=3D"ltr"><span style=3D"font-weight: 700;">The call for papers = can be found via the following link: </span><span style=3D"font-weight: 700;"> <a href=3D"https://www.drs2022.org/theme-tracks/"><span style=3D"text-decoration-line: underline;">https://www.drs202= 2.org/theme-tracks/</span></a></span></p> <p dir=3D"ltr"><span style=3D"font-weight: 700;"></span><span style=3D"font-weight: 700;"></span></p> <br> Best regards,<br> Stefano Delle Monache <p dir=3D"ltr"><span style=3D"font-weight: 700;"></span></p> <p dir=3D"ltr"><span style=3D"font-weight: 700;">--------------------= ------<br> </span></p> <p dir=3D"ltr"><span style=3D"font-weight: 700;">The Theme Track 4 on= <span style=3D"font-weight: 700;"> Sound & Design</span> aims at exploring human and machine listening as design material:</span><= /p> <p dir=3D"ltr">Either intentionally designed or as by-products of mechanisms and processes, sounds and soundscapes are an essential presence in our contemporary environments, from notification and alarms to machinery and voice-based virtual assistants.
